A Crown More Silent Than The Stars, by Idylls of the Last King
Good day everyone,
The first time I dabbled in making music was 2001, but it wasn't until 2009 that the first Idylls of the Last King tracks came to be. A two-track EP was released digitally and the project was then forgotten about, with other types of music hijacking my attention and creativity, until 2021. I guess the uncertainty and lethargy of the pandemic woke up a certain something that was a necessary ingredient.
The product was this album: A Crown More Silent Than the Stars. Crude, simple, but I believe effective; it certainly paints an uncanny picture as a whole. I am quite certain that those of you who enjoy dark ambient will find some pleasure in this.
If you do enjoy it, please leave a review!

Les Arbres slow horses
Slow horses season 4 ost has a track called "Les arbres". It has this dark ambient, droning, faint beat playing and it appears somewhere near the end of s4e5. I can't describe it but it really scratches my brain and it sounded like a blend of drone, dark ambient and darkwave to me (I listen to a lot of drone personally). Any ideas on tracks/genres that have similar vibes?
Here's the scene in particular, fair warning there's MAJOR spoilers in here if you haven't seen slow horses season 4 yet:
The beat in particular occurs at the very start of the scene.

45 codes for IDYLLS OF THE LAST KING - Dungeon Drone
Good day everyone,
Here are 45 codes to the 2021 full-length "Dungeon Drone".
As the name suggests, this album sets off to explore what seems to be familiar dungeon-synth territory but then also veers into dark ambient, oppressive drone pieces, but also fantastically up-lifting fantasy synth (for lack of a better term) pieces that flirt with the Berlin school of electronic music.
In short, a rich and emotional journey for those of you who are willing to test the dungeon's depths. Enjoy!
